I was excited to pilot the TLAC Online modules as a part of our interview process. It provides candidates with the support they need to put their best selves forward in an interview. As a recruiter, TLAC Online allows me to feel confident that I’m recommending the strongest candidates for our teaching roles thanks to the added layer of TLAC practice under their belt.
